Sharpening The Spine Of A Mora Companion Stainless

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

WARNING WARNING WARNING... Don't let the grinder drop off the end of the tip like I did at 5:25. I didn't realize it until watching this video back that I removed a small portion of the tip. It'll be easy enough to fix the next time I sharpen the knife. After about a dozen spine sharpenings over the years, it's the first time that I've made this mistake and will certainly be the last time.

Thank you David. I need to do this myself.

Now that is some good information! Thank you.

Looks good. Thanks for showing us. Take care.

Thanks friend!

Thank you Dave

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

No!... TY!

[@MikeSmith-jd7nn]

Nice,thanks for the video.I will do the exact same thing to mine.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Be carful at the tip. I took some of mine off accidentally. You can see it in the closeups. It'll be easy enough to fix though.

[@HarleyBob957]

Thanks for the advice. I just bought the companion carbon, and was glad to hear I can use a file, but I also have a bench grinder so I should be good to go.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I don't know why I keep putting off buying a bench grinder. They're not that expensive. I just always grab for the angle grinder.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Those rounded corners on the spine of a Stainless Steel Mora Companion will prevent you from scraping anything. You're going to have to use some kind of a grinding device, an angle grinder, bench grinder, or Dremel tool, to sharpen it before you can scrape fatwood, tinders, and Ferro Rods. Come see how I sharpen this very hard stainless steel spine with an angle grinder to turn my knife into a SUPER SCRAPER.

Thanks Michael!

[@airborneinfantrynstuff489]

Great job! Can’t wait to see you put it to use in upcoming videos👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

No doubt.

[@jw.escape6975]

I have a mora robust and I use it for everything. I even used it to hammer a mail in the other day. I also sharpen the spines, with a file, but just good enough to get a spark off a ferro rod. Will be getting my grinder out today 👍. Also will be doing a lads knife spine at bushcraft session and the grinder will help me do it quick. Thanks for vid

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I accidentally ground part of my tip off with the grinder be careful and quench often and see the video where I fixed the tip the following day.

[@jw.escape6975]

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl just did my pro c with a lap disc cos that's what was on my grinder. I can shave wood now 👍and I noted what you said about the tip and put it in the vice so the tip was below the vice 👍👍👍

[@firemedic10353]

Outstanding as always- just got a new Mora Companion Heavy Duty in Stainless… goin to get my grinder……

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Carful at the tip. I lost a little of mine. Didn't notice till I played it back. It will be easy enough to fix though

[@Tomindy46203]

I used the 200 grit side of a Harbor Freight diamond stone to sharpen the spine of my orange Mora Companion stainless steel. Your solution was a lot faster.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks friend!

[@davidmurray9204]

David next time try a lap disc on the grinder see how you like how it treats the knife

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I usually use what I have on hand.

[@modelsfirst]

Can you put a sharp 90 dergee angle on the spine of a Svord Peasant Mini with just a file?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

IDK

[@omadon7331]

Even some of expensive bushcraft knives can come with chamfered spine. Depends on design and intention I guess. For the spine, my tool of a choice is always bench grinder with some fine(r) stone. I also like to dip the blade in water after each pass. Not necessary, but good practice nonetheless.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I love a durable super scraping spine!

[@Gamerboy-dk9ld]

I don’t understand still why they don’t sharpen it like the carbon ones

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Most of their customers know nothing about the benefits of a sharp 90 degree spine.

[@leeharvey3405]

Why not purchase a Mora with a 90 degree spine in the first place ?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

The Mora Garberg costs $50 more.
